Abstrakt: High resolution luminosity product measurements of neutral beam emission in magnetized plasmas are severely limited by the artificial Doppler broadening inherent to the use of large diameter collection optics. In this paper, a broadening compensation method is developed for the spatial heterodyne spectroscopy interferometric technique. The compensation technique greatly reduces the artificial broadening, thereby enabling high resolution measurements at a significantly higher photon flux than previously available. Compensated and uncompensated measurements of emission generated by impact excitation of 61 keV deuterium neutrals in a tokamak plasma at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility are presented. The spectral width of the compensated measurement is ${\sim}0.13 \;{\rm{nm}}$, which is comparable to the instrument resolution. This width is ${\sim}4 \times$ smaller than the uncompensated width, which for the 20 cm diameter collection lens system utilized in this study is ${\sim}0.5 \;{\rm{nm}}$.
